A museum of dog collars

Mrs. Gertrude Hunt most generously presented her collection of collars
to the Leeds Castle Foundation in memory of her husband, John Hunt, the
distinguished medievalist. The collection of over 100 collars and related exhibits has since been
added to and enhanced by the Foundation itself. Spanning five
centuries, the collection contains examples of collars from fearsome
fetters for the great hunting hounds of the past, to canine couture for
21st century pooches.

"Tai-wiki-widbee" is an eclectic mix of trivialities, ephemera, curiosities, and exotica with a smattering of current events, social commentary, science, history, English language and literature, videos, and humor. We try to be the cyberequivalent of a Victorian cabinet of curiosities.
